Occupational Health
Are foot and ankle injuries crippling your business?
According to WorkCover Queensland, foot and leg injuries account for 19% of workplace
injuries and an average of 10.8 weeks is taken off by employees with foot and ankle
injuries.
$18 million was spent on foot and ankle injuries in Queensland in 2005 and 2006.
Employees who spend a long time on their feet are particularly susceptible to foot
and ankle injuries, and foot health in the workplace is increasingly recognised
as an important strategy to improve productivity.
